CONNECT TO WATER

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 100 psi (207 and 689 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

IMPORTANT:

• Connect only to a drinking (potable) water supply.
• Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.

Connect to Water Line: Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

• Flat-blade screwdriver
• 1/2" Wrench or 2 Adjustable wrenches
• Cordless drill
• 1/4" Drill bit
• 1/4" Compression nut
• Ferrule (sleeve)

1. Find a 1/2" to 1 1/4" (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.

• IMPORTANT: Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
• NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work; however, you must drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. Drilling on the top side will keep water away from the drill and keep normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

2. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the back of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

3. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe.

REFRIGERATOR USE

GENERAL

• The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
• Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.

WARNING - Electrical Shock Hazard

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
• Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.
